I would choose the Rory Party because they are the closest equivalents to the Republican Party in the United States and they stress tax cuts for the rich and more privatization of social services. The tax cuts would be very useful to me as a citizen of Grande Brittney, because I am inheriting a lot of money, and I want don’t want to pay such high inheritance
Although the Labour Party, under former Prime Minister Tony Blair in the 1990s, stepped away from the socialist policies of earlier times, it differs with the Conservative Party on economics and taxes. The Labour Party supports cutting government office expenditures, as well as spending on consulting and marketing. The party also favours spending to modernize Britain’s infrastructure and to support business in creating new jobs. Labour’s platform also favours what it describes as “fair tax increases.” Taxes cited by the manifesto include a tax on bankers’ bonuses and a new tax on earnings that exceed £150,000 a year. The Conservative Party, in contrast, favours broader cuts in government spending, including a freeze on public sector pay increases and a 5 percent cut in salaries for government ministers.
Hoover’s assertions accurately portray the conservative ideals of the federal government adopting a laissez faire policy towards the economy. In addition to encouraging a laissez faire attitude, Hoover hesitate din passing legislation to bring about reform and relief to the economy and citizens who lived in squalor. Again, President Hoover emphasizes that it is the responsibility of private, state and local government to pass legislation pertaining to helping individual citizens (Doc B). Furthermore, Hoover sympathized with businesses rather than the common man, a commonplace in the right
He also wanted to deregulate state and federal government requirements and liberate business and allow capitalism to flourish making people more prosperous and enabling them to pay more taxes, decreasing federal deficit. He also wanted to strengthen the nation’s defences. It can be argues that reaganomics was not successful in the years 1981 – 89 but it depends on who you ask, the democrats would say it didn’t work where republicans would say it did work. After the Great Depression the consensus was that the government’s main target should be to maintain a low level of unemployment. But the reaganites said that the low unemployment obsession had pushed up public expenditure and led to budget deficits and stagflation and they believed in supply side economics which emphasised growth.

Advocates argue that a balanced budget amendment would lead to a smaller federal government and less government waste, including a major reduction in pork-barrel spending -- the practice of legislators pushing pet projects for their constituencies. An elimination of the deficit also would reduce the millions of dollars in interest that the government pays on its debt when it runs a deficit. Taxes and Saving Over the long term, a balanced budget amendment would lower federal taxes on average, according to "Analyzing the Case for a Balanced Budget Amendment," a research paper by economists from Texas, Princeton and Cornell. Advocates argue that these lower taxes would spur economic growth. In their research paper, the economists also argue that a balanced budget amendment likely would inspire the government to increase savings to hedge against future problems in the broader economy.
This restriction on the citizens goes against two of the three freedoms (social, economic, political) classical liberalism was founded on. As long as trickle-down economics is in effect the rich will only get richer at the expense of the poor “99%”. The nation needs to change for the benefit of its people, movements can bring change. A prime example of a movement bringing change to its nation is the Women’s suffrage movement. In Canada and the United States women fought for their political rights and freedoms.
Deregulation of many American industries in the 70’s like banking, airlines, and electricity has added to the economic growth. The Reagan tax cuts in the 80’s, the 1978 capital gains cut signed by Carter and the 1997 capital gains cut by Clinton are prime examples of lowering taxes and getting things going. Most economist or politicians agree you cannot run a high tax regime and be competitive. A study shows
• Free Trade – According to Adam Smith, free trade leads to competition – Merchants have larger markets (since they can now ship to foreign markets) – Prices come down due to the competition – Those against free trade were merchants who benefited from tariffs (taxes) on foreign goods • A Series of Reforms – During the early and mid 1800s, Parliament instituted reforms in the areas of; • protective tariffs (repealing the Corn Laws), • slavery (banning it in all British colonies), • criminal punishments (reducing the number of capital offenses). • Victories for the Working Class – In the 1800s and early 1900s, Parliament passed laws aimed at improving social conditions. – Such laws limited the workday of; • women and children,
To what extent have the Conservative Party adopted One Nation policies in government? One nation conservatism refers to the left of the right wing of conservative party, one nation conservatism is a catch all party, this means in relation to the conservative party they have moved further towards the left in order to appeal to a greater percent of the voting public. One nation conservatism is pro trade unions has a paternalistic view of that state this means the richer people act much like a father figure towards the poorer people in society, this type of conservatism is more related with the Labour party and were particularly strong after 1945. Another form of Conservatism is named Thatcherism after the late Margaret Thatcher, Thatcherism is associated with the further right of the conservative party, were they believe in rolling back the state, a free market economy, privatisation including British Gas, BP and British Telecoms, Thatchers aims as she tackled the depression were not to “ reverse economic decline but to boost Britain’s stature in the world” Thatcher and Thatcherism were extremely patriotic, and based the moral principles around “faith, family and flag”. I believe that the Conservative party under Cameron haven't adopted many One Nation policies for these reasons; On terms of economic and the deficit the Conservative party seem more right hinting at the thatcher heyday.
